1. I'm not sure I like this.

I wonder if this sets a precedent whereby all recipients can remain anonymous.

The publicity around a big winning is good for selling lottery tickets. And shrouding this in secrecy invites fraud. I think if someone buys a ticket and expects to reap any rewards, they should agree to this stipulation.

2. I see both sides...that being said...

I live in Washington and we have the same type of law and I would definitely fight with all legal means available to me to avoid having to reveal my identity. Itís a security thing, both personal and financial.

3. I Agree With You

She likely knew what she was getting into when she purchased the ticket. If she did not want to be known she should not have purchased the ticket. If she needed to remain anonymous for safety purposes then she should not have played the lottery. If she just wants to remain anonymous so she will not be bothered by people seeking money, too bad. If she did not want to be bothered she should not have played the lottery.
